One constant throughout the Scream series is Nick Cave’s eerie track Red Right Hand. We were introduced to it in Scream, Scream 2 got a remix version by DJ Spooky, before Cave provided an original rendition for Scream 3. Will the song be back for Scream 4? If so, here’s a probable contender.

Artic Monkeys performed a take on Red Right Hand last year which says goodbye to Cave’s brand of melancholy, bringing instead a modern rock rendition to the classic, seeming a natural fit with the generational approach to the new sequel.

Turn your speakers up. Loud. Then sound off below – should v.4 be part of the soundtrack, or should Red Right Hand be left exclusive to the original trilogy (and Cave’s own vocals)?

The original, of course. “Up to date” shouldn’t have to do with everything. More often than not, newer versions are always devoid of what made the original great and don’t have any impact. It may with new audiences simply because it’s new and “now”, but little with anything else. It’s about mood and tone. Don’t fix what isn’t broken.

I’m disappointed by all the comments. Yes the original is awesome, but this would be perfect for the new one. Maybe not this one per say, but a remake by a different band would be perfect. Leave the original for the first 3.

I don’t care where they use this song as long as it’s in it. I can’t stop listening to it.
